This list is no way meant to be all inclusive...please feel free to add to it as you become FFit...
1) You ask your husband for a VO2 max test for Mother's Day
2) You spend time thinking about how to get the most out of your 10%...daily? weekly? each meal?
3) Deanne's voice rings in your ear every time you are making a food choice.
4) You try spreading Better Than Peanut Butter on e v e r y t h i n g.
5)You relate to "Nancy Nibbler" and consider asking Deanne for her contact information. You and she could be BFFS.
6) You secretly hope that "Patty Planner" is assigned to your group in bootcamp so you can kick her hiney in the next competition!
7) You also secretly count the "calories burned per minute" each time you make *whoopie*!
(does she have that number on a chart anywhere??)
8) You spend 2 hours a week minimum collecting food from 4 different grocery stores.
9) You completely turn off anyone who sits down to share a meal with you as you spend the entire time discussing the calorie and nutritional content of what they are swallowing.
10) You find yourself flexing your abs at stoplights, your butt cheeks at drive-throughs and do stretches while waiting in line at the bank.
11) Your bedtime keeps getting earlier and earlier to avoid the late night eating...is 7:00 too early to retire??
12) You find joy in discovering yet one more store that carries Cliff z bars.
13) A heart thrive actually appeals to you.
and now you add...

Kathleen, this is such a great list, I can't think of anything to add right now. Except, your question about "whoopie", well obviously that depends on all those workout variables like time, intensity, heart rate, muscle groups involved, etc. Could be 30 calories for one person and 300 for another if you know what I mean :)
ReplyDeleteYou know you're a Forever Fitter when your most exciting decision of the day is what fruit to put in your fruity fritatta.
ReplyDeleteWhen buying whole grains at Henry's makes you giddy from the financial savings.
When an outing to the Farmer's Market is more fun than going to Disneyland with your kids.
When you wear a heart rate monitor to walk your dog!
When you consult a menu every single meal of the day to see what you "should" be eating.
You think you're cheating when you eat more than 10 almonds at one time or add more fruit than a half cup to a protein shake.
When munching on dried fruit becomes your guilty pleasure.
amen. keep em coming Keely. somehow laughing at myself makes me feel closer to sane. (not there but closer)
ReplyDeleteI just had breakfast at Naked Cafe in Solana Beach and wanted to share how very Forever Fit is can be. I had an egg white scramble with spinach and tomatoes. It was served with delicious red quinoa and a whole wheat tortilla. WE talked about restaurants at bootcamp so I thought I'd let you know about his one. They offer some very healthy breakfasts and lunches right down from Frogs on 101.
